What happens if cinema stops ? If the film interrupts and each single photogram is brought into bareness ?
The work of Giovani Bellavia is this: to return the film into the status of single image, to create new life from a modular montage, into specularities and a viral of colours. It is not any longer about following a movement, but to emerge into the picture and read it, to make it become a true textual corpus.
Between the images immortalized appears two women reading: Monica Vitti in The Night (La Notte) by Antonioni, who reads nestled on a staircase, and Paola Pitagora in “I Pugni in Tasca” by Marco Bellocchio, who stares into a misterious monitor-mirror from which outburst the carachters of a magical alphabet. Just as the film witholds traces and signs, also the book has become a container of memories: the book of paper and the book of the future, the traditional book and the futuristic one, the instrumental book of concentration and the ansious questioned one, the book that assorbes, the book that evaporates …
